My name is Jesus Torres, and I've been helping families achieve homeownership for almost nine years.

My story

My story is personal. I was born in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico, and grew up in Tijuana, Mexico. I moved to the United States when I was nine years old. As I grew up, I became a DREAMer and DACA recipient before eventually becoming a proud U.S. citizen.

I understand firsthand that everyone's journey is different. I know what it means to work hard, overcome obstacles, and pursue opportunities for a better future.

Before joining Mortgage Express, I spent 10 years working in traditional banking as a banker, followed by four years as a loan officer. Those experiences gave me a strong foundation in finance, lending, and understanding borrowers' financial situations.

However, I wanted to do more for my clients.

Traditional banking often meant fitting borrowers into specific guidelines and checking boxes. I wanted the flexibility to explore more mortgage options, think outside the box, and help people who might not fit traditional lending guidelines.

That's what led me to make the move to Mortgage Express.

I wanted to offer solutions instead of simply saying no. I wanted access to more mortgage programs and the ability to help clients with different income sources, financial backgrounds, and circumstances.

Today, I'm blessed and honored to help families throughout Oregon and Washington, especially within our Latino community, navigate the homebuying process and achieve the dream of owning a home.

I'm also a family man. My lovely wife and our two wonderful children keep life busy and remind me every day why family, hard work, and building a future matter so much.

Helping families purchase homes isn't just my profession. It's something I'm genuinely passionate about.
